Thinking about learning to program / script again

[Nagato]

Thinking about learning to program / script again. The problem is that It would have to be all self taught.

I wouldn't mind making bots for Reddit & Twitter. I really want to make add-ons for XenForo too. I also wouldn't mind making iOS apps. And I am also kinda interested in data/stats as well

So I would need to learn the following:

• Swift
• Python
• Javascript
• PHP

But the problem is I am not that confident in myself. So when I was learning back in the day, following a tutorial made so much sense but when it came time to do something myself, all of a sudden I didn't know how to do anything.

Things I would do if I could:

Twitter

• Web UI for automatic tweet/like deletion;
• Unfollow All
• Bots (idk what)

Reddit

• Script on main account that deletes posts/comments that get -1 downvotes;
• Delete all threads and comments
• A bot that posts the latest chapter of the Hitman manga automatically

XenForo

• MyAnimeList add-ons (ex: anime list, manga list, people, studio, submit data)
• Delete account & take a break
• Download account data (GDPR;again I like data)
• Punish button (remove likes from threads/posts, not allow new likes)
• FOR LOCAL USE ONLY: Nuke forum content
• 24 hour time (Like how MacRumors has it)
• Count down timer (Like how MacRumors has it)
• Moderation tools (inspired by AutoModerator on Reddit)
• Remove birthday date by user
• Font size selection site-wide
• Display name and such like how Twitter has it
• Verified status like how Twitter, in particular has it
• Icon next to name for people that limit visibility of account like how Twitter does it.
• Ability to hide forum based on account preference selection
• Ability to have flags, emojis, ect in display name
• Icons next to hashtags
• Ability to hide content in "what's new"
• icon next to staff names
• Ability to post as regular user and have ability to post as a moderator. Like how Reddit does it.
• Command system like Discord and Reddit

App:

• App using MyAnimeList API

Website:

• See Twitter dot point one
• Own "MyAnimeList" with what I would want

And that's all that currently comes to mind
